Loralee Hardy—the abused young woman remembered as Strickfield’s Prom Queen Killer—is offered one chance to save her family, her lover, and herself from a bloody legacy.

Hellweaver reviews the life that made Loralee an ideal candidate for the Second Chance Compact: years of violence and homophobia from her brother Aiden, a fatal freeway crash, fractured identities, and murders committed through the personality she created to keep her dead family alive. Even death did not end the story. Black magic returned Loralee as a powerful revenant whose love for Melisande LaPalla helped turn another school dance into a massacre.

Sent back before the choices that defined her, Loralee must confront abuse, betrayal, mental illness, and the temptation to answer every wound with supernatural violence. Part four connects the Prom Queen Killer and Homecoming Queen Killer storylines to Hellweaver’s larger wager over whether damaged souls can truly change.

“Deadly Second Chances Part 4” by Rob Fields.

The episode’s central danger remains Deadly Second Chances Part 4, while murder, disappearance, and investigation, teen and school-set horror, and ghost lore and supernatural suspense supply the atmosphere, conflict, and consequences that carry the story forward.

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.440
She was the prom queen Killer, a monster born from heartbreak, abuse,

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.279
and unspeakable trauma. Now Laura Lee Hardy has been sent

3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.080
back in time with the chance to stop the massacre

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.920
and save the girl she loved. But in Strickfield, some

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.239
fates aren't meant to be rewritten.

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:32.359

Listeners in the dark, it's more fun at that way way.

10
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.000
This is Weekly Speaking.

11
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:09.439
Hello, my spookies, It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.

12
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.879
It's time for a little spooky in your weekly I'm

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.120

14
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.480
in to the penultimate episode of our summer mini series,

15
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.120
Deadly Second Chances. So if you haven't listened to the

16
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.840
last three episodes, you may want to give them a

17
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.120
quick listen before you dive in. But don't worry. We

18
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.239

19
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.840

at Weeklyspooky dot Com slash Join. But as for tonight,

31
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.840
our tale isn't about monsters in the shadows, It's about

32
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.240
the ones inside us. Laura Lee Hardy's life has been

33
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.280
nothing but pain. Abused by her brother, broken by grief,

34
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.520
and driven to madness, she became one of Strickfield's most

35
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:50.560
terrifying legends, the prom Queen Killer. But now the goddess

36
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.960
hell Weaver has given her one final chance rewrite her story,

37
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.319
save her love, escape the ray. Can Laura Lee overcome

38
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.360
the demons that live within her? Or will she write

39
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.800
her legend in blood all over again? All will be

40
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:22.919
revealed after this. Previously on Deadly Second Chances, Sin gives

41
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.639
hell Weaver a tone containing the second Chance compact, allowing

42
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.520
her to offer five beings second chances. If three fail,

43
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:38.039
hell Weaver can claim their souls and escape perdition. Hell

44
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.560
Weaver captured the soul of aides Mary for failing to

45
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.319
change her life for the better. However, she failed to

46
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.280
capture the souls of two mirons in Jensen and Calvin.

47
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.319
Once thought irredeemable, they found it within themselves to make

48
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.439
better choices and change their lives. Down two to one,

49
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.919
has a new prospect for obtaining her second soul. Will

50
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.840
she finally succeed or will this next chapter of Deadly

51
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.199
Second Chances prove to be the final nail in the

52
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:20.959
coffin of hell Weaver's hope for escape. Deadly Second Chances

53
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:28.680
Part four by Rob Fields Perdition Sin watched as hell

54
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.240
Weaver her mother brought up the history of another seemingly

55
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:39.319
tortured soul through the Infinity Core. I have been watching

56
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:45.519
this one for some time, hell Weaver said. The life

57
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:52.079
of Laura Lee Hardy is by no means a happy one.

58
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:57.199
They watched the story unfold, showing the abuse Laura Lee

59
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.439
suffered at the hands of her older brother a Aiden,

60
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:06.079
since childhood, even though their mother broke up most every

61
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.759
instance and would sometimes punish Aiden. He never ultimately backed

62
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:16.199
off of Laura Lee. As they grew closer to adulthood,

63
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.240
Aiden began noticing his sister's sexuality and began attacking her

64
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:28.360
through homophobia. Not only did Aiden belittle Laura Lee, he

65
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.480
would discreetly follow her to see where she went and

66
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.439
who she hooked up with. One day, he discovered Laura

67
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.279
Lee was involved with Deborah Leyman. When Laura Lee left,

68
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:48.680
Aiden assaulted Deborah and hospitalized her. Days later, the Hardy

69
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.040
family was on a freeway in Shore City. Aidan revealed

70
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.639
his attack on Deborah to Laura Lee, causing her to snap.

71
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.000
A fight out between Laura Lee and Aiden in the car,

72
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.360
causing a fatal accident on the freeway that claimed the

73
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:14.160
lives of both Aiden and their mother. Laura Lee felt

74
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.480
so guilty about the deaths of her mother and brother

75
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.560
that she developed multiple personality disorder, giving herself the illusion

76
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.120
that her family was still alive. She moved to Strickfield

77
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.879
and lived on her deceased father's insurance money with her family.

78
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.040
From there, she gained a new circle of friends and

79
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.000
a few new girlfriends. The Aiden personality often proved stronger

80
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.199
as it emerged and killed through Laura Lee. It was

81
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.600
at Strickfield High Junior and Senior prom that the truth

82
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.959
about Laura Lee was finally revealed by Taylor Miron. Lee

83
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.040
Lee was finally killed herself and then returned to Shore City,

84
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.439
where she would be laid to rest. After that horrible night,

85
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.040
Laura Lee came to be known as the prom Queen Killer.

86
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.839
Laura Lee Hardy would not remain at rest, however. Months later,

87
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.879
a group of Shore City East High School students drove

88
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:34.839
to Greenlawn Cemetery and found Laura Lee's grave. Malissande la

89
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.000
Pala was known to practice black magic for seemingly entertainment

90
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:48.160
only purposes. Malissand recited a spell over Laura Lee's grave

91
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:54.000
to supposedly restore her to life. Unbeknownst to the group,

92
00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:01.959
especially Malissande, the spell worked. Laura Lee returned to the

93
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.519
mortal realm as a supernaturally powered revenant, falling in love

94
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.439
with Melissande and vowing to win her heart. It was

95
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.439
at the Shore City East High School homecoming dance where

96
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:22.199
Laura Lee and Melissande brutally massacred many of the student

97
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.279
body and teachers in attendance. The Unholy Couple, as they

98
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:34.240
came to be named, left together afterwards. But this story

99
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:41.759
has a most unfortunate ending, hell Weaver concluded. Just days

100
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.799
after a group of vengeful mortals found the two of them,

101
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.279
wanting justice for the souls they destroyed at that school event,

102
00:08:53.679 --> 00:09:00.279
Laura Lee kept her attackers back. Melissande, however, was not

103
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:06.200
so fortunate. Mother and daughter watched as a Posse member

104
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:12.279
raised his shotgun and blew Melissan's brains out. Laura Lee

105
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.559
went into a rage and experienced an incredible boost in strength.

106
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.759
She threw off the Posse members who had overwhelmed her,

107
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:27.639
before breaking and battering those unfortunate enough to be in

108
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.879
her path. The Posse tried shooting Laura Lee down, but

109
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:38.039
the revenant was far too enraged to go down so easily.

110
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.279
Only her brother Aiden had caused her to experience that

111
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.320
rage before. Laura Lee continued to make a bloody scene

112
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.960
in the park where the two lovers had been found.

113
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.200
When the police arrived, they also fired on Laura Lee.

114
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.519
At least the police knew to back when Laura Lee

115
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:09.440
wouldn't die. Unfortunately, the remaining Posse refused to listen to them.

116
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.960
And was finished off by Laura Lee. Now the enraged

117
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:21.240
revenant gazed at the police, her body soaked and dripping

118
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:27.799
with the blood of those she destroyed. Laura Lee frightened

119
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:32.200
the police when she held her fists high and screamed

120
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:38.639
a horrifying, disembodied scream of pain for her lost melissand

121
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.679
hell Weaver knew it was time to act. As before,

122
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.120
she left her physical body as an astral projection and descended.

123
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:55.559
Soon she landed a short distance from Laura Lee. When

124
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:00.519
the police beheld all that was hell Weaver, they lowered

125
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:07.039
their weapons. Somehow they understood they were no match for

126
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:14.320
the Goddess. Be gone, hell Weaver ordered them. When they hesitated,

127
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:19.399
she used her eyebeams to hurry them along. Once the

128
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.879
police got back into their vehicles and left, hell Weaver

129
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.759
turned her attention to Laura Lee.

130
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:33.039
Hardy, don't go away, Weekly, Spooky will be right back.

131
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:41.399
Laura Lee's fists were still clenched as she bellowed another

132
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:48.600
disembodied scream at hell Weaver. Then Laura Lee heaved, ready

133
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:53.960
to attack the goddess. I can offer you an opportunity

134
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.919
to gain your love back, Laura Lee, Hardy. Hell Weaver said,

135
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.519
Laura Lee pointed right at her. You do not talk

136
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:10.480
to me in that way. These bastards killed my Melissan,

137
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.759
and you wish for her to be alive and well again.

138
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.519
This is why I shall offer you a second chance

139
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:26.919
to potentially win her back. I want Melissan back and

140
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:32.440
alive now, Laura Lee screamed at the top of her lungs.

141
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.600
Hell Weaver folded her arms in front of her. I

142
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.600
could easily restore your love back to you as she

143
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.120
was before, but I feel that even you could not

144
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:51.960
afford such a high price. Believe me when I say

145
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.879
that you are better off taking the second chance that

146
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.440
I offer. Should you change your life for the better,

147
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:06.399
you may regain Melissan La Paula, and perhaps a better

148
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:11.200
life for the both of you. And if I fail,

149
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.360
Laura Lee demanded, showing she wasn't oblivious to how this

150
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:23.639
demonic goddess worked, then your soul shall become mine in

151
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:29.679
reservation for a total of two. Upon capturing the final soul,

152
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.360
then I shall return to claim yours and one other.

153
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:40.200
This is your one opportunity to gain your love back.

154
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:47.440
Laura Lee hardy choose. The pain Laura Lee felt over

155
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:55.000
her lost melissand was too much to bear. Yes, Laura

156
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.639
Lee told hell Weaver to place her back on a

157
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:04.399
day where the fatal accident in Shore City hadn't happened yet.

158
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.159
As with the others that hell Weaver offered the second

159
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.840
chance compact too, she warned Laura Lee about how fate

160
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:19.519
was not so easy to escape from there. Hell Weaver

161
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.919
kept her end of this latest bargain and honored Laura

162
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:34.279
Lee's request. Five years ago, Laura Lee Hardy suddenly found

163
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:40.200
herself back in her original home in Shore City. She

164
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.720
couldn't believe hell Weaver was powerful enough to bend the

165
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.919
very fabric of space and time to be able to

166
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:53.639
move her from her present day and back to this moment.

167
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.720
Laura Lee rested on her bed and saw her phone

168
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.000
next to her. She picked it up and observed the

169
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:09.639
date the fatal accident on Interstate seventy one would soon come.

170
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:16.080
She vowed that accident would never happen, even if it

171
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.440
meant her cruel older brother Aidan would live. Feeling an

172
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.960
overwhelming sense of renewal, she got off her bed and

173
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.600
left her room to go to the kitchen where her

174
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:36.480
mother Ridge was preparing breakfast. As if Sensing her presence,

175
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.360
Ridge turned to her daughter, Laura Lee. Did you get

176
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.639
Aidan up like? I asked? Before Laura Lee could answer,

177
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.639
Aidan rudely shoved her aside. Laura Lee knows it'll be

178
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.279
her ass if she comes in my room. Suddenly, Aiden

179
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.320
snatched her phone. How many of your little girl friends

180
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.639
are you talking to today? God damn it, Aidan. Laura

181
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.399
Lee yelled, give me my phone before Ridge could try

182
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:13.200
and restore order. Aidan tightened his jaw and pointed to

183
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.240
the phone as he addressed their mother. Look at this shit.

184
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.879
She's clearly been seeing this, Deborah Leyman girl. Laura Lee

185
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.960
roared and rushed at Aidan, but he easily shoved her

186
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.639
to the floor. Aidan stop. Ridge yelled, give Laura Lee

187
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:38.399
back her phone right now. Aidan tightened his jaw and

188
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.080
looked ready to kick Laura Lee as she was getting up.

189
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.360
He didn't want to get on Ridge's bad side, and

190
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.360
through the phone at Laura Lee. As she managed to

191
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.440
catch it, she remembered Aidan would find her and Deborah

192
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.639
Leyman together at Shore City East High School at the

193
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:04.440
football field. I'm leaving, Laura Lee told her mother. Aidan

194
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.759
grabbed her arm. No, you ain't. You ain't getting with

195
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.559
no more girls. Laura Lee broke his hold on her

196
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.160
and glared at him what I do and who I

197
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:20.720
talk to are none of your goddamn business. Not wanting

198
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.559
to be around Aidan any more, and knowing she had

199
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:30.000
to save Deborah, she quickly left the house. Laura Lee

200
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.960
hid out of sight and texted Deborah she was right

201
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:40.400
about Aidan coming outside to look for her. When he

202
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.839
couldn't find her, he cursed before going back inside and

203
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:51.480
slamming the door. Deborah responded to Laura Lee's text and

204
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:59.759
agreed to meet her where she asked twenty minutes later.

205
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.640
Laura Lee was a sophomore at Shore City East High

206
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.680
School at this point. Unfortunately, Aiden was a junior there,

207
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.839
which was why she arranged to meet Deborah in the

208
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:18.480
varsity girl's locker room instead of near the football field.

209
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:24.880
When Deborah saw Laura Lee, she approached her fast. Laura

210
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.200
Lee's eyes widened when Deborah wrapped her arms around her

211
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.519
and kissed her, but then she remembered they were seeing

212
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:39.039
each other at this moment and time. When they finally parted,

213
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.240
they faced each other, Laura Lee warned Deborah that she

214
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.680
was in danger and explained that Aidan would come for her.

215
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.359
When Deborah said she wasn't afraid of him, Laura Lee

216
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:58.039
tried telling Deborah that he was obsessed and would stop

217
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:03.279
at nothing to make their lives hell. Laura Lee's eyes

218
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:10.559
widened when she saw someone coming at them fast. Deborah move.

219
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.160
Laura Lee shoved Deborah out of the way as Aidan

220
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:21.079
raised the crowbar to strike. Laura Lee barely heard Deborah

221
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.839
scream when Aidan struck her hard on the side of

222
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:31.200
her head. Laura Lee felt dizzy as she reached out

223
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:38.160
for Deborah. Everything faded to black as Laura Lee dropped

224
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:39.920
to the floor.

225
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.880
You're not safe yet, Weekly Spooky will be right back.

226
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:59.160
Time unknown. Laura Lee woke up in bed in a

227
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:05.759
strange else. You're okay now, Laura Lee, someone said nearby.

228
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.400
Laura Lee gasped when she sat up and saw August Boldman,

229
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:18.119
the first person she killed in Green Lawn Cemetery upon

230
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:24.160
her resurrection in her former timeline, sitting in a recliner.

231
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:32.160
How how did I get here? Laura Lee stammered. August

232
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:37.039
explained how Deborah ran into him and begged him for help.

233
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.160
She asked me to call an ambulance for you. I

234
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.799
didn't have my phone, so Deborah went to the office.

235
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.960
He further explained how Laura Lee was loaded into the

236
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:56.160
ambulance and taken to the hospital. But how am I here,

237
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:03.039
Laura Lee persisted, burraah, and I brought you here, August answered.

238
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.240
When we came to visit you at the hospital the

239
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.039
next day, the nurse said you got up and left.

240
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.279
After confirming you didn't go home, Deborah and I looked

241
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:20.680
for you. We found you disoriented in Gunter Square. Deborah

242
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:23.839
couldn't keep you at her house, and she didn't want

243
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.079
you going back home to your brother who hit you.

244
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.319
I told Deborah you could stay here. He leaned forward,

245
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.559
how are you feeling? Much to her surprise, she felt

246
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:43.599
much stronger and got off the bed. I'm okay now,

247
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:49.359
August asked Laura Lee more questions before agreeing to them

248
00:21:49.400 --> 00:22:01.079
attending school together. Fifteen minutes later, when Laura Lee and

249
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.599
August arrived at school, they found Deborah Leyman at her

250
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:10.039
locker along with the others in her circle of friends.

251
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:15.599
Laura Lee remembered Arnie Razor Rathman, the rumbling giant with

252
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:20.240
a good heart, and saw he still cared when he smiled.

253
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:27.400
She also remembered brit Speedmen and Belinda Bright, especially Belinda,

254
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:34.079
and then there was melissand La Paula. At first, Laura

255
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:38.559
Lee wanted to reach out to her, but decided against it,

256
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:44.039
remembering she would have to win Melissan's love all over again.

257
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:49.279
When Deborah saw Laura Lee and August, she gave them

258
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:54.480
a warm smile and so glad you're okay, Laura Lee.

259
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:59.039
She assured her that she was. Then Deborah revealed that

260
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:03.839
Aiden had cornered her and demanded to know where Laura

261
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:09.599
Lee was. Fortunately, they were in public so he couldn't

262
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:14.160
attack her. In fact, when Laura Lee looked at the

263
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:19.839
date on her phone, she knew she had saved Deborah. However,

264
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:25.880
the day of the Interstate seventy one accident was dangerously close.

265
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:35.839
Two days later, Laura Lee remembered the events on this

266
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:41.960
particular Saturday prior to the accident. She also remembered being

267
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:48.039
with Misty Blint in Strickfield two years later, then entering

268
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.839
into a forbidden love affair with her older sister Cheryl

269
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:58.319
just after Misty was murdered by her aidan personality, but

270
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:02.839
that romance ended when Cheryl teamed up with Taylor Miren

271
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.680
to take her down while the Aidan personality was in

272
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:13.319
control again. In fact, Cheryl was the one who finally

273
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:18.759
killed Laura Lee. By preventing what was soon to happen.

274
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:24.359
Laura Lee would never move to Strickfield or meet anyone there.

275
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:32.720
The legacy of the prom Queen killer would never be born. Suddenly,

276
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:37.559
Aiden burst into Laura Lee's room. What little girlfriend are

277
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.039
you talking to now? When Aiden came at her, Laura

278
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.839
Lee quickly got off her bed to keep it separating them.

279
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:48.680
Give me that phone. I want to know who I

280
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.440
got to beat up, he yelled. I know you're still

281
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.279
getting it on with other girls. When Laura Lee wouldn't answer,

282
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.480
Aidan revealed a baseball. That's fine, I don't mind making

283
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:10.000
you bleed again. Laura Lee felt her anger growing. I

284
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:15.359
told you before, none of your goddamn business. Now get

285
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:20.359
out of my room. Aidan couldn't believe what he had

286
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:24.720
just heard. What you say to me, Dike. He raised

287
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:30.359
the bat. Huck him on over there, and fuck you up.

288
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.440
When Aidan came around Laura Lee's bed, he raised the

289
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:40.039
bat again. When he swung, she surprisingly caught it. Even

290
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.279
more surprising, she turned her wrists slightly to snap the

291
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:50.160
wooden bat in two. Without realizing it, she snatched his

292
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:55.799
throat and easily lifted him off the floor. Aidan struggled

293
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.440
to break loose as she found she could walk him

294
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.839
to her doorway and dump him out in the hall.

295
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.079
Just then, Ridge was right on them. What is going

296
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.880
on here? She demanded, We're supposed to go shopping, and

297
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.319
Aidan quickly stood up and went at Laura Lee again.

298
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:21.599
She stopped his fist by grabbing his wrist. Before Aidan

299
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.279
could use his other fist, Laura Lee kicked his groin

300
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.119
with her bare foot to send him to his knees.

301
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.920
Laura Lee let go of Aidan's wrist and punched him

302
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.640
hard enough to make sure he felt it. Ridge quickly

303
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:44.480
inserted herself in between them and yelled stop this. Aiden

304
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:48.960
slowly sat up, holding his groin with one hand and

305
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:53.319
his jaw with the other. He gave Laura Lee a look,

306
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:58.440
saying that he would never leave her alone. You and

307
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:02.920
Aidan can go shopping to she told her mother. I'm

308
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:08.680
not going. Ridge admonished both of her children, mostly Aiden,

309
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.200
for always bullying Laura Lee. Overall, she told them they

310
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.160
could either start getting along or they didn't have to

311
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.319
stay with her. Aidan pointed up at Laura Lee. I

312
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.240
ain't getting along with no lesbian. I'll kill you first.

313
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:33.160
Just then the doorbell rang. Aidan sprang in front of

314
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.319
Laura Lee to intercept Deborah. Except when Aiden answered the door,

315
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:45.680
is Laura Lee home? A guy asked August. Hi. Laura

316
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.920
Lee replied and invited him in. Then she took his hand. Yeah, Mom,

317
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.319
I wanted this to be a surprise. I'm actually going

318
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.920
on a date with August. He smiled softly and said

319
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.680
to Ridge, Yeah, I just came by to get Laura Lee.

320
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.079
I hope that's okay. When Ridge nodded, Laura Lee went

321
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:16.000
back into her room. When she came back out, she

322
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.920
headed for the door, not waiting for her mother to

323
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:25.480
say anything more. She left the house with August. Aidan

324
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:31.400
tightened his jaw and wondered, what was Laura Lee up to?

325
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.960
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your

326
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.519
doors weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.

327
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:49.680
Two years later, Laura Lee was a senior now. She

328
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:55.279
couldn't believe how close she and August Boldman were. When

329
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.480
August made the first move and kissed Laura Lee on

330
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:07.119
that supposed first date. She surprisingly returned his affection. She

331
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.359
couldn't believe the way he made her feel. Now they

332
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:16.000
were spooned up in his bed under the covers. She

333
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:20.279
accepted her second chance with hell Weaver to rekindle her

334
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:25.319
love with melissand La Paula, but her new choices caused

335
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.720
her to have honest to goodness feelings for a guy.

336
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.480
In fact, this wasn't the first night they had slept together.

337
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.839
Now she was living with August Funny. She had never

338
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.920
once seen his parents, but she didn't care. As for school,

339
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.640
she was in with his group now. At first, things

340
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:57.359
were a little rocky between her and Deborah Leyman, but

341
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:01.079
they talked it out. When it was agreed they weren't

342
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:06.160
really dating, they came to an understanding. As for Laura

343
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:10.920
Lee and August, they became a high profile couple at

344
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:16.839
Shore City East High. Principal Theodore Gastor even scowled at

345
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:22.519
them whenever he'd seen them together. Rhyese, Clairbourne and Ali

346
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:28.440
Prince now had Laura Lee in their sights. Unfortunately, they

347
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:32.480
gave themselves away to her, especially when they had no

348
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:38.359
idea they were dealing with a future version. Remembering their

349
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:43.119
reign of terror from before, Laura Lee targeted the two

350
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:47.839
of them. In time, Laura Lee learned what Jim Ali

351
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.839
worked out at. Since Laura Lee herself didn't have a membership,

352
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:57.200
she had to break in. She knew where the cameras

353
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:02.799
were being controlled and disabled the system. With Ali all

354
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:06.839
alone on a late Saturday night and no one around,

355
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.559
Laura Lee surprised her by grabbing the barbell she was

356
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:17.279
lifting and pushing down enough to strangle her to death.

357
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:23.759
Ali was a musclewoman, but Laura Lee proved to be stronger.

358
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.839
Laura Lee wiped everything she touched for Prince and reapplied

359
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:35.920
Ali's to the barbell before leaving. Ali's death was ruled

360
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.799
an accident. Laura Lee decided she really didn't need to

361
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:47.880
kill Rhyese Clairborne. Without Ali Prinz, the ultra rich Girl's

362
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:53.440
threats became empty and idle since it was just one

363
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:57.799
of her against the rest of the student body. With

364
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:02.119
the biggest threats eliminated, there was nothing to stand in

365
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:08.519
the way of Laura Lee's happiness with August, or so

366
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:17.839
she thought. One week later, Laura Lee and August were

367
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.960
leaving school holding hands. When the couple reached his house,

368
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.680
some one ran up to them and hit Laura Lee

369
00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:32.480
from behind with a tire iron. When Laura Lee found

370
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.279
herself on her hands and knees, she heard August fighting

371
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:43.720
her attacker. Then she heard August's groan and knew her

372
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:49.759
attacker had knocked him unconscious. Guess I did what mom said,

373
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:54.319
Laura Lee. Adan yelled. You know how many times Mom

374
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.759
got on me about going out and looking for you?

375
00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:01.839
Since you ran away, do you? Aidan swung and caught

376
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:05.920
Laura Lee across the face. When she turned onto her ear,

377
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:11.400
Now she was flat on her back. I'm so sick

378
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:16.720
of mom loving you more than me, Aidan continued. I'm

379
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.319
the right one here. You're the one who's sick in

380
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.920
the head getting with other girls. He pointed to August.

381
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.440
He ain't full of me using this asshole here as

382
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:31.640
some kind of beard. Aidan kept beating Laura Lee with

383
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.359
the tire iron as she kept trying to get up.

384
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:42.359
Stay down, Aidan roared, or don't. That's fine with me.

385
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.079
I'll just beat you down like I did before when

386
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.240
I caught you and Deborah Layman that day. He ain't

387
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:56.519
getting with no more girls leave her alone, August yelled.

388
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:01.200
Laura Lee looked up to see August resume fight with Aidan.

389
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:05.960
This gave Laura Lee more than enough time to get

390
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.119
back to her feet. Aidan hit August with the tire

391
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.400
iron again. Then he forcefully kicked August in the stomach,

392
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.039
causing him to hit the side of his house hard

393
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.159
and fall forward. Aidan raised his tire iron to smash

394
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:28.840
the back of August's head. As he was getting up,

395
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:33.480
Laura Lee snatched his wrist to make him cry out

396
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.719
and drop the iron. Then she made him cry out

397
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.519
more when she forced him to his knees. Aidan kept

398
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:46.920
resisting her and tried to get back up. Laura Lee

399
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:51.800
stopped him abruptly by simply turning her wrist, which broke

400
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:57.199
Aidan's forearm, causing the bones to protrude through the skin.

401
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:03.719
Aidan screamed at the overwhelming pain, but Laura Lee wouldn't

402
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:07.280
let go. You know, you could have just been your

403
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.639
usual bigoted douchebag self and told mom you weren't going

404
00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:15.159
to look for me, period, but you clearly came after

405
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.880
me to kill me and maybe even my boyfriend. That's right, Aiden,

406
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:25.719
I'm actually in love with this guy. Laura Lee snatched

407
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:30.000
Aidan's jaw with her free hand. You will always be

408
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.039
a danger to me and whoever I'm with. Just so

409
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:40.920
we're clear, you're not going home. Aiden groaned hard when

410
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:45.199
Laura Lee stuck her fingers in his mouth and began

411
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:52.320
pulling hard on his jaw. Stop. Aiden groaned, grabbing Laura

412
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.480
Lee's arm with his good hand. Aha. With one good,

413
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:02.840
hard yank, Laura Lee ripped Aidan's jaw clean from his

414
00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:08.800
face and skull. When she let him go, Aidan was

415
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.800
frantic as he gurgled his screams while his tongue wriggled

416
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:21.800
and lashed wildly. Aidan fell over, went limp, and bled

417
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:23.119
to death.

418
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:30.159
If you thought that was scary, just you wait, weekly spooky,

419
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:31.360
We'll be right back.

420
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:38.199
When August came around, he saw Aidan's jaw in her

421
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:43.639
hand with blood all over it. Then he saw Aidan's

422
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:50.079
body and knew what Laura Lee had done. She dropped

423
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:54.840
the jawbone and began to cry at knowing she might

424
00:36:55.000 --> 00:37:01.599
lose August. You don't understand, Laura Lee, protel did. Aidan

425
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:05.519
would never have left us alone. I had to kill

426
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:11.400
him August didn't seem too upset and looked down at

427
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:19.679
Aidan's corpse. It's okay, Laura Lee held herself. What do

428
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:25.119
we do now? August moved to her and held her close.

429
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:31.639
Sh It's okay, no one else needs to know. When

430
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:37.599
Laura Lee looked at August, they shared a long, passionate kiss.

431
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:49.760
When they finished, they worked together to cover up Aidan's murder. Later,

432
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.559
it was dark by the time Laura Lee and August

433
00:37:56.039 --> 00:38:00.920
returned to the house. They went in and had it upstairs.

434
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.760
We'd better clean up, August suggested, turning on the light

435
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:12.760
in their bedroom. Laura Lee caught his meaning and started

436
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:17.440
to undress. She knew intimacy with August was just what

437
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.679
she needed to help take her mind off of killing Aiden.

438
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.280
She let her t shirt drop and moved her hands

439
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:31.880
behind her back to unhook her bra Then she saw

440
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:38.840
something strange on August's desk. What's that, Laura Lee asked,

441
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:45.760
moving to it nothing, August replied quickly. Come on, Laura Lee,

442
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.079
let's go have some alone time in the shower. Laura

443
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:55.000
Lee opened the ancient looking book and saw the pages

444
00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:02.000
written in another language. Much to her surprise, she could

445
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:07.800
understand them. Laura Lee became angry and turned to August.

446
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:12.679
This is a hell Weaver Bible. Why do you have it?

447
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:19.159
When August didn't answer her, she became angrier. Are you

448
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.679
working with hell Weaver to take my soul? August raised

449
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.000
his hands up in front of him. I don't know

450
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:32.079
what you're talking about, honey. When Laura Lee saw August's eyes,

451
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.000
she knew he would try to flee the room. As

452
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:40.159
he made his attempt, Laura Lee grabbed him and slammed

453
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:43.760
him against the wall. Why do you have a hell

454
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:48.880
Weaver Bible, Laura Lee demanded again. Have you been working

455
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:53.440
with hell Weaver against me this whole time? I thought

456
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:59.119
we loved each other. Why. When Laura Lee's eyes glowed

457
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:05.880
hot with anger, August came clean. I found the book

458
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.280
at a secondhand bookseller at the start of sophomore year.

459
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:13.119
I was surprised I could read it, so I bought it.

460
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:17.280
Then I brought it home and summoned my hell Weaver.

461
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:22.440
I made a bargain with her for my warlock powers.

462
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.400
If you made a deal with my hell Weaver, I

463
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.400
swear I don't know anything about it. Laura Lee leaned

464
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.840
in so that their noses almost touched. You're still not

465
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.079
telling me everything. I swear I'll break every bone in

466
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:42.519
your body before I let you claim me for hell Weaver.

467
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:48.320
Now tell me the truth, August took a deep breath.

468
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.760
You died that day when AIDEN found you with Deborah

469
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:57.239
in the varsity locker room. I told Deborah I'd stay

470
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.519
with you while she went to Principal Gaster's office to

471
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:07.880
call for help. You you died shortly after. That's when

472
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.960
I used my new powers to bring you back to

473
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:19.039
life as my revenant, my protector, my lover. He took

474
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:24.840
another deep breath. I've wanted you for so long, Laura Lee,

475
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.960
but you were only into girls. Thanks to the powers

476
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:33.480
my hell Weaver gave me, I got everything I ever wanted,

477
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:40.719
you most of all. Laura Lee gasped when she understood everything.

478
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:44.840
So that's why I came to love you, even though

479
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:48.239
I returned from alessand La Paula. I truly thought i'd

480
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:52.480
fallen in love with you naturally, but you manipulated me

481
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:57.000
all along. She suddenly punched a hole in the wall

482
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.519
next to his head. How long were you and hell

483
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.480
Weaver plotting against me? August? I won't ask again. August

484
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.800
shook his head slowly. Laura Lee, I seriously never made

485
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.760
any deal against you. Do you have your own deal

486
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:21.360
with my hell Weaver? If you do, I don't know

487
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:25.079
anything about it. I just told you I've been serving

488
00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:28.239
my hell Weaver for a long time. How do you

489
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:31.480
think I had the power to bring you back to life.

490
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.239
I knew it had to be you who killed Ali

491
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:40.039
Prince and Aiden. I know you killed him to protect us.

492
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:45.079
Laura Lee shook with both rage and hurt. But you

493
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.239
manipulated me into loving you, knowing I could never love

494
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:55.119
a man. August was afraid. Now, Laura Lee, please don't

495
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.320
be this way. We love each other. We can make

496
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:04.440
this work. Laura Lee began to cry at remembering how

497
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:08.679
she loved melissand La Paula. Now Melissand was in a

498
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.000
relationship with Arnie Rathman and would never love her back.

499
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:19.639
She also remembered hell Weaver's warning about fate. She had

500
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:25.199
killed August in her original timeline upon her resurrection. Now

501
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:29.519
fate came back to bite her real good in this

502
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:35.239
new version of her life. It's over, August, Laura Lee growled,

503
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:39.800
you used me for your own selfish desires. You kept

504
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:43.199
me from my destiny. Hell Weaver will take my soul

505
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:50.239
for sure now you die, au sh it.

506
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:54.440
Was only the wind, your safe weekly Spooky will be

507
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:55.199
right back.

508
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:01.280
When Laura Lee went for the killing blow, August ducked

509
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:06.239
and escaped the bedroom to move downstairs. When he saw

510
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:10.960
Laura Lee at the top, he pointed up at her. Stop.

511
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:15.559
I restored your life. I can just as easily take

512
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:20.840
it away, not before I kill you. Laura Lee disagreed.

513
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:26.639
August sneered he won't reach me in time. My parents

514
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:30.039
certainly didn't when I gave them to my hell Weaver

515
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.119
in exchange for my gifts. Laura Lee saw they were

516
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:41.559
a good fifteen feet apart when August began his spell. No,

517
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:46.639
Laura Lee choked when she felt herself glowing and desperately

518
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:54.960
leaped down the stairway. Unfortunately, August completed the spell. Laura

519
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.079
Lee stopped still as she landed in front of him.

520
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.840
She shook for a moment before she felt the power

521
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:08.679
that had resurrected her into a revenant, leaving her. Laura

522
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:13.159
Lee blacked out and fell to the floor at August's feet.

523
00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:17.519
From there, he lowered himself and claimed the orb that

524
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:24.480
rose from Laura Lee's now lifeless body. Then hell Weaver

525
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:31.079
appeared beside him, My hell Weaver, August said, in surprise,

526
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:35.840
did you make a deal with Laura Lee too? Hell

527
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:42.239
Weaver responded, I did nothing for you to be concerned about.

528
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:47.239
August knelt before hell Weaver and kissed his goddess's hand.

529
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:54.280
What is your command? Arise, August Boldman, and continue with

530
00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:59.400
your work as I have instructed you. Yes, my hell Weaver,

531
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:05.880
August replied gratefully and stood up. Then he presented Laura

532
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:10.079
Lee's orb to her. Are you here to claim Laura

533
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:15.039
Lee's soul? It's yours. You may keep it in your

534
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:22.199
possession until I require it. August nodded once, yes, my

535
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:28.400
hell Weaver. From there, hell Weaver vanished and returned to Perdition.

536
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:33.639
August wanted Laura Lee back. He figured he could at

537
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:37.880
least cast another spell and make her his girlfriend again,

538
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:44.280
at least until hell Weaver would return to claim her soul.

539
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:56.400
Perdition Sin seemed angry upon her mother's return. Why would

540
00:46:56.480 --> 00:47:00.840
you allow that pathetic weakling to serve you, mom? Hell

541
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.719
Weaver answered, he is most loyal to me and has

542
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:10.960
proven his worth many times. He has not yet reached

543
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:18.000
his full potential. But he shall, with my guidance. Understand

544
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:22.400
that all who serve me have their uses. Would you

545
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:26.679
have me claim your life? Sin? You said so yourself

546
00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:31.480
that you have failed me twice, and you serve me,

547
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:38.079
do you not? Sin nodded once. I understand, ma'am, and

548
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:44.360
I'm sorry. Hell Weaver caressed the side of her face again,

549
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:52.159
Like August Boldman, you still have much to learn. Sin

550
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.679
became eager again. You now have two souls who shall

551
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.519
be your last conquest in the final contest, Hell Weaver

552
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:08.480
smiled gleefully. I have given this a great deal of thought.

553
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:17.360
After much consideration, I shall choose a fellow immortal, Bella Tabon.

554
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:23.320
Sin suddenly became enraged to wear. Her hair burst into

555
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:28.880
flames and stood up defiantly against her mother. Are you

556
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:34.239
a fool? She pointed to the infinity core. Why would

557
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:39.199
you offer Bella Tabon a second chance? A Tabon is

558
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:46.000
not so easily defeated. Hell Weaver remained patient. Once again,

559
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:51.159
you have much to learn. As your loving mother, I

560
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:57.000
shall have the utmost patience and teach you. Sin's body

561
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:02.400
now burned with fire, do you not wish to escape perdition,

562
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.400
where you have been imprisoned for so long. Her fire

563
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:12.159
raged hotter with her anger. I found and brought you

564
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.559
that lost Tabon Tom to give you the second chance

565
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:21.360
compact and finally free you, she screamed, as fire burst

566
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:25.199
from her body. You shall have no claim to the

567
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:29.960
souls that you've won should you fail against Bella Tabon.

568
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:35.519
Sin ascended slowly as she roared, why are you fighting

569
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:42.679
with me? Soon Sin's fire diminished with her despair. She

570
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:47.920
fell and landed on her knees as she began to cry,

571
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.320
I just want to free you, Mom. I feel as

572
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.840
though my efforts are meaningless to you. Hell Weaver still

573
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:03.800
remained patient. Arise, my baby, that I may teach you

574
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:10.199
for soon it shall be the end game, and Bella

575
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:16.320
Tabon shall become the final piece of your puzzle. Join

576
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:21.960
me at the Infinity Corps again and learn. Sin rose

577
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:28.039
to her feet and obeyed her mother. Deep down, she

578
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:33.800
still had doubts. At the same time, she remembered that

579
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:39.519
her mother was the hell Weaver. When they were seated again,

580
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:46.119
Sin conceded to her teach me, Mom, that I may understand.

581
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.960
Hell Weaver smiled devilishly at knowing that both the endgame

582
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:57.519
and the next stage of her master plan were about

583
00:50:57.639 --> 00:50:58.199
to begin.

584
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.519
Yet weekly Spooky will be right back.

585
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:12.880
They watched the history of Bella Tabon as the goddess

586
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:19.960
explained this crucial step of her master plan. Bella Tabon's

587
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:24.239
life was not an easy one. Just being a pure

588
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:29.880
blooded Tabon assured that Bella began her training when she

589
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:35.119
was just three years old. The Tabon family lived within

590
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:41.079
the safety of Ravenham, the ancient homeland that was built

591
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:47.320
by the first known as Iomere. By the time Bella

592
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.480
was six years old, she was a trained killer. Of course,

593
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.559
she would never take innocent people. Her older brother Nicholas

594
00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:03.239
often chastised Bella, never being on his level and called

595
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:10.239
her the runt of the Tabon litter. However, Solomon and Anathea,

596
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:16.679
their grandparents, found ways to better them through their best attributes.

597
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:21.480
With Bella, she would prove to be crafty and clever,

598
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:28.760
earning the nickname of little Devil by Anathea. She could

599
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:33.920
often get under Nicholas's skin with just her craftiness and

600
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:43.320
unwavering determination alone. Unfortunately, the Tabon family had an adoptive

601
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:49.519
daughter they were raising named Cassilia. Though she carried the

602
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:55.519
Tabon name, Bella blamed her for her parents' deaths and

603
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:59.119
would never acknowledge her as a member of the family.

604
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.840
Things got worse when Bella discovered that Nicholas and Cassilia

605
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:12.199
were secretly involved romantically. The Tabon family had been reduced

606
00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:17.599
through the years by a powerful master vampire known as

607
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:22.440
Thornton Gillian. The day came when he actually crossed the

608
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:29.280
boundaries of Ravenhenge himself and attacked the family. Bella learned

609
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:34.559
that he had help when Cassilia revealed herself to be

610
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:42.960
both the betrayer and Gillian's lover, revealing her naturally evil nature.

611
00:53:44.519 --> 00:53:48.920
Cassilia watched as Gillian decimated the rest of the family

612
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:55.079
with the exception of Bella. Gillian had injured her but

613
00:53:55.239 --> 00:54:01.199
left her alive to be the last Tabon. Determined to

614
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:06.320
end Thornton Gillian and Cassilia, Bella trained on her own.

615
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:12.719
Through her physical and emotional pain, she learned and perfected

616
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:18.320
new fighting techniques and magics in preparation for her final

617
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:23.519
battle with Gillian. When she felt she had trained enough,

618
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:30.519
she set out to find him. Along the way, Bella

619
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:37.079
found Cassilia and bested her. Unable to destroy Cassilia because

620
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:42.239
of her alien attributes, Bella could only place her within

621
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:46.639
a crypt where she was bound by a crucifix and

622
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:52.719
staked through the heart. If Bella could not truly destroy Cassilia,

623
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:58.840
then she would imprison and incapacitate her. Bella destroyed all

624
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:04.199
of Thornton Gillian's tribes until he himself was forced to

625
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:09.440
confront her in a final contest. Bella fought valiantly against

626
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:16.480
Gillian and sustained heavy injuries, but she had finally succeeded

627
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:23.119
in destroying Thornton Gillian. Two. Weak from her battle, Bella

628
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:30.519
passed out. Unfortunately for her, blood from Gillian's corpse dripped

629
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:36.559
and poured into her wounds. Mixing with her pure and

630
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:44.119
special Tabon blood, Bella awakened, renewed, and transformed into a

631
00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:49.920
unique master vampire. Realizing she was both a non blood

632
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:54.760
drinker and a day walker, she used her new powers

633
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:01.119
to continue the Tabon family business of stopping malevol supernatural

634
00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:07.000
forces from harming innocence. Bella would learn newer ways to

635
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:12.119
fight in her immortal years of walking the earth. Her

636
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:16.599
greatest attribute was that no matter what happened, that could

637
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:22.199
spell the end of her life, Bella simply couldn't seem

638
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:28.519
to die. She currently resided in Strickfield with her friend,

639
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.920
Aileen Donnerley, whom she had taken on as her partner

640
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:38.440
against the supernatural. Bella herself had been aware of the

641
00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:44.239
hell Weaver from her teachings in Ravenhenge. When the events ended,

642
00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:48.320
hell Weaver made her daughter smile from ear to ear

643
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:55.039
upon finishing her explanation of her master plan. Now do

644
00:56:55.119 --> 00:57:02.840
you understand, Sin, Hell Weaver asked, yes, Sin hissed excitedly.

645
00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:09.239
Forgive me for my outburst earlier. Mom Time and time again.

646
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:13.199
I have told you that I must teach you. Now

647
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:18.679
it is time to continue my master plan. Hell Weaver stood,

648
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:23.639
I shall go to Bella Tabon at once, gaze into

649
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:28.719
the Infinity Corps and watch. I assure you that Tabon

650
00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:33.239
shall accept my offer. See if I am not correct,

651
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:40.039
I shall, Sin said, barely able to contain her excitement,

652
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:46.199
hell Weaver again assumed her astral projection and left Perdition

653
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:55.960
to meet up with Bella Tabon. Laura Lee Hardy was

654
00:57:56.079 --> 00:58:01.039
given her second chance. She saved a life, but lost

655
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:06.920
herself again. Now with two souls claimed and two, redeemed

656
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:11.880
hell Weaver prepares for the final peace in her twisted puzzle.

657
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:16.639
Next week, we leave the mortal world behind and enter

658
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:22.559
a war between gods, monsters, and one immortal who refuses

659
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:27.639
to die. The endgame begins. Join us next Wednesday for

660
00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:32.199
the conclusion to our summer mini series, Deadly Second Chances.

661
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:36.840
